One day the brave explorer Dave found this cannon along with it's officer in a cave some where in New England. Here is the overall view. I give credit to my brother Zach for the basic soldier design and some pieces and Joshua Landry for the skeleton soldier idea. Oh and Architect this is the creation for you ;). It isn't the WIP from before but this I worked just as hard on. So how do you like it?
I got the idea from the PC real time strategy video game "Age of Empires 3".

About this creation

Here is the cannon being fired during its heyday.
Here is the British officer as you can see he has a saber, a musket, and two pistols.
Here is the side view
Here is the brave explorer Dave.
Here is the skeleton of the British officer.
And here is the cannon with some lime green moss or paint on it, it has differing colors on the barrel and body because of light exposure. Or was it made that way? The world may never know. It also has a vine growing out of the barrel.

Please rate and comment or you will be huanted by the British officer!

Lets get this straight, almost everyone in the 4% think that you caused trouble, you talk of speaking your mind, what is the point of speaking your mind if everything you speak of is wrong, I mean claiming that the bible was possibly written by drunkards/high people? How atheist can you get. You say your were baptized, well maybe your were not ready.
if you do not like religion than do not talk of it. Also I remember being nearly kicked out of TFOLPC for free speech. You hold a double standard. If you keep practicing "free speech" in the TFOLPC you may lose your own rank of moderator.

Just an apology, I am sorry for screwing up in the TFOL private club, I was thinking only about my group ( HERO FACTORY) and not thinking about the rules, I should of read them and listened to you guys, instead I argued like an immature 6 year old. I am re-applying andamgoingto do better and act my age, also I am sorry for insulting your building skills.

I'm sorry I didn't respond last year (LOL) to the comment you made to my Fortress but I've been so busy... I honestly don't understand how you have the time to come to Mocpages everyday... If I came here a week, I'd be lucky! (Pardon my English, I'm still learning)
Well, one of these days I hope I'll have more time to talk to you in order to continue the conversation. PS: Nice Creation :-)

Matthew, I'm here to tell you something about your group, "Ask Matthew Novosad." It is not a good idea. The reason being that Keith Goldman was the man who created the first "ask" group named "Ask Keith Goldman." EKO builder has been totally criticized for making an "Ask EKO" group because he was copying the idea. Keith might be frustrated with you, so I might have to ask you to delete your new group. ~Ryan

Awesome moc, Matthew. From the looks of it, I'd say that you are very well-rounded in moc-making. You don't just make Star Wars stuff, you make ALL KINDS of stuff like this here Revolutionary War moc. BTW want to be allies?

The comments you have been posting on my creation have been unacceptable.

Try telling that to Aressta C., or Phazeroz. They wouldn't be here if they weren't "accepted".

Quoting Lego Maniac
MOCpages is a friendly community for all ages and dosen't accept those comments.

You should also see Lee Jones's Christmas MocAthalon 2009. Really inappropriate. Also if this is a "family friendly site", why the language?
And I'm sorry for speaking the truth about something you do not deserve.

E.K.O, people do that. The cannon looks good, but its a bit multi-colored for being destroyed for so long, I would just make it like completely brown/ orange, for rust and put like grass and overgrown plants to make it cover it :D The cannon is a good design, and the solidier is neat too :)

Well Matt, I gotta say, this vig is a definite step up from most of your previous MOCs. The good points: There is a definite focus point for the action and a base-structure to anchor the scene. I like how you captured the “overgrown” look of the scene with the rocks, plants, and vine. I also see that you paid a lot of attention to detail. The different angles and close-ups were a nice touch, and I liked the “re-enactment” scene with the cannon firing (good use of the big flame piece). - The stuff that needs improvement: The cannon should have some sort of back to it (at least during the “back in time” pic), for balance and realism. Also, the scrolling text at the bottom is unnecessary and many people find it irritating. – The bottom line: You’ve made some good steps toward better-quality MOCs. I’d like to see more MOCs like this from you in the future. Keep in mind the comments I’ve made and continue to improve on your technique! :)

Just wanted to add that this particular MOC got 3x more popular than all your others in 2 days. :)

I still love this! Hey Matthew? I made two more Bionicle figures. If you didn't look at my other ones. It's a secret for now until I post them. Since you are my friend, I'll tell you anyways. Fox and Krystal McCloud Bionicles! They took me al teast 8 hours to build! Just too much thinking into it. I had to get them just right. That what took me so long. I'll post them soon, but I need batteries for the camera. NOOOOO! I'll post them soon. It's my next MOC by the way.

ugh. it is not cool to ask people to comment on your moc even in groups like mocpages advice. but i will comment but i will not leave a rating. the color scheme and picture quality are horrible. but you have a good idea. now expand off of it.

The picture quality may look blurry but it is not (I'm using digital zoom), I don't have many of the same colors for things I hate explaining things multiple times, in the descriptions it explains different aspects.

Ha, you took these on New Years Day. This is pretty awesome. I like the fact you're making Revolutionary War MOCs. 5/5.
BTW, you know "Ask Keith", right? Can we add a new MOC yet?

Thank you yes I wish Infinity Ward (makers of call of duty) would make Call of duty: The Revolution
You have to wait a month before you can post again.

I agree with Swash, the cannon looks a bit odd. But it's still alright. I do, however, love the British soldier's uniform! It's one of the best i've ever seen! The vignette is decent too, however it could use a tad more detail. Overall, good work.
BTW can you check out my newest moc?

Ofcourse I'd like to comment! I really the minifigs you put into this, especially the officer. The background looks good. The rocks with moss give it some detail. However I don't like the colors on the canon. I understand it's supposed to look that way, but maybe you could find another way to make it look old. Like mixing old dark gray with new dark gray. I think that would give a better effect. Anyways, nice job! ~M

Thank you, as with the cannon I'm going to incorporate the cannon into another moc, and I think I will change the barrel.- Matt
